I had noticed some minor discoloration on my new Butterflyfish (Heniochus chrysostomus), but today I found this huge gash on his side. He was eating well and seemed t be properly acclimated (he was not quarantined). I have never had a disease problem in m tank. I run a UV Sterilizer 24/7.I have not read about this disease at all, unless it's Mycobacteriosis. I really hope not. Anyone have any ID for this disease? Even better, a cure? Please help.

IMO that looks like something bit him. What else is in the tank?? fish and corals.

Also, how long have you had it??
